I've yet to find a rhubarb and custard as good as @pfvapes col-custer so i thought now might be the time to have a tinker with diy. Can anyone help me out with a simple, straightforward recipe to get me started and the best place to go to for these concentrates please.

Oh on a side note, I'd like to use nic shots at first until I decide if mixing is for me.
 
Make them separately then mix them together.
Never tried rhubarb but it's a classic combo so don't know why.
If you mix your custard of choice do a large batch then once it's had it's loooooooooong steep it will be ready to add to any other fruit or desert flavour you wish.

I haven't mixed before (bar mixclub) I'm looking for a good custard concentrate. Any recommendations? I'm starting from absolute scratch and at this stage I only want to buy what i need to try this one mix.
 
You're better off with a dedicated concentrate, particularly as BB's one is so good. Mixing the flavours 2 doesn't work as well.
 
I only use one custard which is Capella V1.
It's deceptive in that it does not come through very well till steeped for a few weeks.
This can make you overdo the strength.
If it's not ready it will have a very strange almost dry taste.
I would say powdery but you'll think I'm mad but that's the only way i can describe it.
I guess I end up around 14-16%.
I find it tastes even better with a little cream or vanilla bean ice cream added but that's just me.
TBH if I started mixing now I would use a one shot but with the separate flavours to hand so I could tweek the balance if I needed to go my taste.
 
You've tried it then?

Yes, their juice was my highlight from VF last year but this year they only had the concentrate, which I stocked up on.

The rhubarb is mild compared to some, but the crumble really comes through.

I think I'll probably go with the one shot initially, baby steps and all that, but yeah... I'm gonna want to be able to tweek a juice once I'm confident.

Ah ok, I'm looking for something with a predominant tangy rhubarb. Still might be worth a shot though
